Description Lachlan Pease 2005-04-16 01:32:58 UTC 
Attached is a simple patch that will add recognition of the hardware/software radio kill switch found on most IPW2100 or IPW2200 wireless lan cards.
This patch was made against sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.10-r6, though with some fuzz it should patch into other baselayouts.

Should the wireless device not support the RF kill switch, this patch will assume that it is on and continue with the network script.
If the RF kill switch does exist and is turned off, the script will display this and not attempt to search for wireless LANs.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d
2. patch < iwconfig_rfkill.patch
